Allotted Resource

Classes

AllottedLink

An AllottedLink is a link provided (or allotted) by some service instance. The Allottedlink may be incorporated into the topology of some consuming service like other links.

Anfd

An Anfd (Allotted Network Function) is a network function provided (or allotted) by some service instance. The allotted network function may be incorporated into the topology of some consuming service like other network functions. Note: the allotted network function is no longer derived from some allotted resource parent.

NetworkFunctionDesc

A NetworkFunction is a functional block within a network infrastructure that has well-defined external interfaces and well-defined functional behaviour.

ResourceDesc (ResourceSpecification)

ResourceDesc represents physical and non-physical (virtual) components which are owned / managed by the business or provided by a Supplier and are used (directly or indirectly) to construct services. In this context, a resource is something that goes into a resource catalog from which services are composed.

Vnfd

A Vnfd, or VNF Descriptor, is template which describes a VNF in terms of deployment and operational behaviour requirements. It also contains connectivity, interface and virtualised resource requirements.
